If you're going to take a safety to not risk a punt block in your own endzone then just kneel immediately and give them 2 seconds to return a safety free kick or fair catch and hail Mary. Why the fuck would you let yourself get hit in the end zone.

Doeren should be toast.

Or, bare minimum, hold the damn ball with bit hands against your chest. Why one handed grip?

Watching the replay, I cannot believe he chose to hold the ball that loosely knowing that literally the ONLY thing that couldn’t happen is a fumble. Literally any other outcome would have probably resulted in a win.

Or never take a step forward and run it out the back of the endzone
